Pet care experience

I'm Jeff & my wife is Barb. Please give us at least two (2) days notice for your stay. Our home does not have a fence. We own a mixed breed dog named Bailey. Bailey can be crated if visiting dogs aren't getting along with her, but that would be rare since we always do a meet and greet beforehand. We've got plenty of space in the house and in the yard for everyone to enjoy. We will tag team the care of our visiting friends depending on our schedules. Sorry, we cannot host puppies. (Also, please allow extra response time on Sunday mornings when we're at church.)

We had a great experience with Jeff & his family watching our dog. This was the first time we’d left our dog since we got her back in July. I was a little nervous leaving her, but Jeff and his wife met with us before the boarding and made sure I felt very comfortable with them and their dog. During the stay, they kept us updated on how she was doing and they sent photos. Very pleased with our experience!!

Leaving my dog with someone for the very first time was honestly nerve wracking, but this experience couldn’t have gone better. From the start, Jeff and his wife were so down to earth and easy to talk to that it immediately put me at ease. You can tell they genuinely love animals and take their responsibility seriously. What meant the most to me was the regular updates. I received pictures almost every day, and seeing my dog happy, relaxed, and cared for made such a difference. It really helped me enjoy my time away without constantly worrying. I came home to a calm, happy pup, which says everything. I’m so grateful to have found someone I trust, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again. Highly recommend to anyone who wants peace of mind while they’re away.
